SHELTER IN SOBRIETY –
Jan. 1, 2026 – David faced a harrowing battle with substance abuse following the partial destruction of his home in a storm. Now, approaching three years of sobriety, the HGTV star shares his journey to recovery.
Bromstad explained why he chose to share his experiences in the new special My Lottery Dream Home: David’s Happy Ending. “I think it’s important for people to understand that I’m human,” he said. Reflecting on the storm’s impact, Bromstad recalled, “My house was completely f——, and not in a fun way. Whatever happens in the house feels like it’s happening to you deep within.”
As the host of Color Splash, he found solace in focusing on renovation plans amidst the turmoil. “The one thing I can do is dive into the work… with all of the drama, the house, the stress, the insurance claims, bleeding money, I just had to keep busy,” he said.
